课程内容:
有一件我可以肯定的事:我将会最终死亡。但是我是什么样的去完成这个无法违背的事?这套课程将会对数个我们回想我们必死性时曾问起的问题仔细推敲。深思熟虑死后可能不会是结束的可能性。我们在某些意义上能不朽吗?不朽能是可能的吗?并且对验乞的死亡是什么有个清楚的概念。一个人死了意味着什么?其中有何种事实?最后,评价对于死亡不同的看法。死亡是一个恶魔吗?怎么是的?为什么是的?自杀在道德上是合理的吗?是理性的吗?对于我将会死亡的事实如何影响着我生命的存活? 
 
There is one thing I can be sure of: I am going to die. But what am I to make of that fact? This course will examine a number of issues that arise once we begin to reflect on our mortality. The possibility that death may not actually be the end is considered. Are we, in some sense, immortal? Would immortality be desirable? Also a clearer notion of what it is to die is examined. What does it mean to say that a person has died? What kind of fact is that? And, finally, different attitudes to death are evaluated. Is death an evil? How? Why? Is suicide morally permissible? Is it rational? How should the knowledge that I am going to die affect the way I live my life?
